Notes

'Ballucor' lantana (Lantana camara 'Ballucor') is a shrub for containers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It grows fast and bears yellow and orange blooms in summer and again in autumn, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Pineapple sage, Tall sunflower, and Sugar cane.
